As someone who teaches it, I say yes to JRRT's SILMARILLION - but not Christopher's text that is the one on shelves.https://twitter.com/sfsignal/status/910118840536829952 …
can you explain what JRRT's Silmarillion is / how to read it? Does one take CT's Silmarillion and read only certain bits? Or what?

To do it as close to what we *think* we know of JRRT's intentions, you'd use CT's edition and splice in and out from later publications.

It's a bit of a mess, as CT has acknowledged. He did amazing work at the time, and we owe it a lot, but it was rushed.

In classes I use this modded approach, but still imperfect. And I don't think anyone can say for certain what's "best text" all-through.
